Design festival features virtual reality design gallery

May 25, 2017

This week’s NYCxDesign festival positioned virtual reality front and center of a glasswork exhibition entitled The Future Perfect. In both IRL and VR, visitors could see exquisite pieces placed not only in a gallery setting but also in a mid-century modern home in West Hollywood. This new festival attraction falls in line with the growing trend of blending VR tech with design industries that include retail stores, architects, and designers. Future Perfect founder David Alhadeff remarks on how VR can showcase work in an “unexpected context,” saying, “In the future, I expect this will be increasingly accessible.”
